Sec. 315.63  Payment to a parent or other person on behalf of a minor.

    If the owner of a savings bond is a minor and the form of 
registration does not indicate that there is a representative of his or 
her estate, and if the minor is not of sufficient competency to sign the 
request for payment and to understand the nature of the transaction, 
payment will be made to either parent with whom the minor resides or to 
whom legal custody has been granted. If the minor does not reside with 
either parent, payment will be made to the person who furnishes the 
chief support for the minor. The request must appear on the back of the 
bond in one of the following forms:
    (a) Request by parent.

    I certify that I am the mother of John C. Jones (with whom he 
resides) (to whom legal custody has been granted). He is ---- years of 
age and is not of sufficient understanding to make this request.

Mary Jones on behalf of John C. Jones.

    (b) Request by other person.

    I certify that John C. Jones does not reside with either parent and 
that I furnish his chief support. He is ---- years of age and is not of 
sufficient understanding to make this request.

Alice Brown, grandmother, on behalf of John C. Jones.
